Habang papalapit ang 2024 US Presidential election, maraming mga maling impormasyon at disimpormasyon ang kumakalat online.
Ngunit ano ang mis at disinformation at paano ito matutukoy?
"Misinformation is defined as: false assertions or false content that's spread by someone or something, like an organisation, without them knowing that it's false," ayon kay digital media expert Associate Professor Timothy Graham.
"Disinformation may be the same content . . . but the individual or the entity that's spreading it is aware that it's false."
Sinabi ni A/Prof Graham na ang maling impormasyon ay maaaring ikalat upang "makalamang."
Ngunit ang pagtukoy sa maling impormasyon online ay mahirap, lalo na kapag ang mga katotohanan ay inilalagay sa maling konteksto.
"That decontextualising . . . means that it gets picked up in all sorts of other places and can be spread as false, or can be misinterpreted," sabi niya.
Ang paglaban sa maling impormasyon online ay hindi madaling solusyon ngunit sinabi ni Graham na may mga bagay tayong maaaring gawin upang mapuksa ito.
"Asking yourself: is this something that I want to be sharing? Or perhaps there's someone who might have not-so-great intentions behind them.
"And: what is the source? Where is that coming from?" aniya.
"It begins with solidarity and this kind of activism. You can't really do anything unless you get lots of people to move together, advocating for cultural changes.
"Trying to change the culture is the really key thing."
